Kareoke at the GYM!
First, I have to wish all of our faithful readers a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Second, I have some pretty darn funny stories to share with you all from the gym that I work out at. Ok, so this gym that I work out at now is really nice, each treadmill has it's own individual tv and recently they have started playing these music videos from a DVD player so if you want to watch them rather than plain old tv you can. So, first I have to remind you that in this country people love Kareoke...many of these music videos are basically KTV (short for kareoke) videos...they have the words on the bottom of the screen. So, one day I'm running at the gym and all the sudden this old guy next to me with a huge beer belly starts singing at the top of his lungs along with the video...it was SO stinkin funny. Don't think you would see that going down at a gym in the states. Second, I have to tell you about this other middle aged guy that recently has become an exercise fanatic...the problem is that he does everything crazy and wrong. You know, he does squats or something and does them all crazy and stuff. But the funniest thing is that this guy has zero shame. So, at our gym in the evenings there are all kinds of aerobic classes...latin dancing, belly dancing, kick boxing, step, etc. This homeboy does all of them...but the thing is that homeboy has ZERO rhythm and no matter how many times he does the classes his rhythm does NOT in ANY way improve. So, last week we're doing kick boxing and your supposed to be facing the front of the room moving forward punching and he's facing the wrong way going opposite and almost punches this lady in the face. My favorite, however, is watching A) A guy and B) a guy with no rhythm try to do belly dancing. A) In my opinion, no guy should ever do belly dancing, period, end of story...let alone a guy with no rhythm. It's actually a little painful to watch him try to swing his hips around and shake his bon bon. You guys should see it...you would be laughing for days. I love Chiner.

Gymies are can be such interesting creatures. I was just thinking today about how I wanted to write a blog on unnecessary nudity in the gym locker room & at the gym for that matter. I mean, I don't want to see a 50 year old woman running on the treadmill in a unitard let alone her bare bootie prancing around the locker room.
Oooh girl, I could write a whole blog about nudity...but I guess that might not be appropriate. You see here it is communal showering and EVERYONE runs around the locker room nude...and talk to each other booty naked like it ain't no thing. It's crazy. It's enough to freak most Americans out.
That is hilarious! I can't even imagine. I thought our membership at Gold's Gym back in the day afforded much laughter at our own crazy-work-out-guy-with-horrible-technique, but these stories are so much better.
KK, that was some serious laugh-out-loud stuff. Thanks for sharing. I miss you and I miss Chiner. When are ya heading back this way?
January shi ji hao...hai mei jue ding. I can't believe that I have less than 2 months left =( It's going to go by SO fast. Hope to see you after I get back!! We're not going to be too far from each other. Love you!
